Kovalev is fighting in his native Russia, in his first showcase fight, and likely won't clear anywhere near the money that Stevenson picked up for fight Sakio Bika in the afternoon.
meanwhile, the Russian ruble has continued to crash against the US dollar and Kathy Duva has yet to confirm a single "Russian billionaire" ready and willing to back her Russian fighter yet.
As long as Kovalev is the WBC mandatory and his camp refuses to negotiate for the fight, Stevenson will continue to fight whoever he wants, making his $2m-$3m per fight, and continue on with his career for as long as he can fight.

I would PAY for a co-main event match up like that for sure
